Have You Noticed
Myjfall Stock of Neckwear?
If you|haveii’t, it is an oversight to
bo remedied nt once. Von can’t
mention anything correct in stylo
which is not emnraoed in my as

an inspection worth nuking now,
or you'll look like n f. How who has
no ties except those that bind him

Handsome and stylish Neckwear
gives your costume a touch of com
plete harmony without which it
has the appearance of a chapter of
accidents which have been thrown
together as it were by a freak of
chance. The best chance is tho
one I am offering of buying the
most superb and stylish Neckwear
ever shown in this vicinity at ex
tremely moderate prices.
My line of Four-in-Hands, at .We
each, will compare favorably with
75c and $1.00 Ties sold by other
dealers, and the 0110-price system
is the recret of low prices.
This holds good all along the

“1 take this means to announce that I
am no longer a candidate for congress
from the Sixth district.
“In doing so, I desire to deal with per
feet frankness with my friends. I have
no want of appreciation of the honor
done me in asking me to lead the IN
pie’s party in the district,
“For reasons purely personal it has
far been simply impossible for mo
make tho canvass of the district with the
necessary and proper energy. It is an
expensive business. It requires time
and labor. Financially I have been un
able to meet the necessity—my time has
been absolutely required in looking after
my own private affairs.
“The result 0/the recent election has
demonstrated beyond a shadow of doubt
that there can possibly be not even a
shadow of hope for the election of the
people's party nominee in the Sixth
district. My obligations to my family
and myself command that I devote my
energies to that service rather than
waste them in the result of a campaign
tho result of which is already unaltera
bly iixed.
“The issue to all intents and purposes
between the democratic and tho people’s
parties has been decided. It is perfect
folly to make any other and greater sac
rifice for it in Georgia. It would be un
just to my family and to myself to con
tinue the light.
a withdrawing, I do so with the
profound satisfaction that I have not
said a word during the campaign that
any honest, fair-minded man can say is
vorthy a southern white man and
gentleman. I do so with the satisfaction
that I have made tho best fight in my
power under the circumstances for the
principles which I believe to bo right. I
do so, also, with an abiding confidence
that sooner or later, somehow, the
wrongs of legislation which have griev
ously injured the Southland will be
righted.
Tho people of Georgia liavo spoken
and they declare in no uncertain terms
that the People’s party movement in
Georgia is an utter failure, and I bow to
their decision, I shall not forsake ray
convictions because they are defeated at
the polls, but it seems to me, aftor hon
est reflection, that it is worse than fool
ish to remaiu in tho field when there is
result possible but overwhelming de
feat, especially in view of the fact that
tho sacrifice I would be compelled to
make is greater than I would ask of any
man.
“I am grateful to the friends who have
loyally stood by me, and grateful also to
my political foes, who have in tho main
treated me with uniform fairness. My
first and highest ambition is tho pros
perity of my native state and her people
aud in all I have said and done their good
has been my inspiration.
“If in tho future ray judgment becomes
satisfied that in the democratic party is
the hope of tho south, it shall liavo my
cordial support. Very Respectfully,
“Joskimi E. Potti.k.”
TIIK LAST NAD KITES.
London, Oct. 12.—The final services
over the remains of Lord Tennyson
curred at Westminster Abbey. They
wero conducted by the Archbishop of
Canterbury, many church dignitaries
assisting.
Tho people thronged the streets adja
cent to the abhoy soon after daylight,
and when the doors opened tho abbey
was soon filled by a distinguished
crowd.
Mr. Gladstone was represented by
lion. Arthur Littleton, tho Prince of
Wales by General Probyn, of his house
hold; the Duke of Edinburgh by his pri
vate secretary, lion. Wm. James Coll
ville; the Duke of York, heir presump
tive, by Sir Francis Wintou, and tho
British government by Hon. H. II. As
quitli, home secretary. Walter Bosant
and many other prominent men of letters
wero present.
At half past 12 o’clock appeared tho
officiating clergy, then the coffin, which
bore only wreaths contributed by the
queen and members of the family.
Tho pall was an ordinary union jack.
It was borne oil tho right hand by Lord
Salisbury, late premier, Earl Selberu,
Loid Itoseberry, the minister of foreign
affairs; Hoti. Arthur Kelvin WehJccky,
the historian, and Henry Montague
Buttler, 1) I)., the master of Ilurnitx
college, Cambridge.
On the left by the duke of Argyle,
Karl Dufferin, Mr. Henry White, secre
tary of the American legation; Sir James
'aget, Benjamin Jewett, master of Bal-
liol college, Oxford, and James Anthony
Fronde, tho historian.
Immediately behind tho coffin walked
tho poet’s son, Hallem Tennyson, with
his wife and children, and some intimate
friends of the family.
Tho procession passed through the
cloisters and nave to the altar, where the
coffin was placed upon trestles and the
religious ceremony was conducted, the
Archbishop of Canterbury officiating,
assisted by tho dean and canons.
Among the many Americans present
during the services, were Edwin H. Ter
rell, American minister to the Nether
lands, ex-Senator Georgo Edmunds, of
Vermont, and Major Poat, of the Amer
ican legation, Sonator George F. Hoar,
of Massachusetts, Dr. Nevin, lately resi
dent in Rome, and Mr. Carnegie; Joseph
Choate, representing Harvard college,
Mr. Emerson, of Boston, nephew of tho
late Ralph Waldo Emerson, and Mrs,
White, tho wife of tho secretary of the
American legation.
Moved Into New Qu»rter*.
Rogers it Wilder, proprietors of the
Racket Store, were busily engaged yos-
terday, removing*ihoir immense stock of
goods from their former quarters la the
Watts building to the large store in tho
Byno block recently vneatod by Aaron
Coben.
This enterprising firm has built up &
fine business since coming to Americus.
Two years ago they started businoss in a
vory small room in the Hart building,
but by careful attention to the wants of
their customers, together with a judl-
judicious use of printer’s ink, they have
extended their trade until uow they 00-
cupy one of tho most commodious store
houses in the city and have it packed
from tloor to ceiling with new and sea
sonable goods, with customers galore.
There is a lino moral in this story
which other merchants in Americus
would do well to hunt out aud ponder
over.
The Circus Is Coming.
Forepaugh’s big circus will exhibit In
this city on tho 21st Inst., which is just
ono week from tomorrow, and as this is
the first sure enough circus that has vis
ited Americus in several years, there
will bo a vast crowd here on that day
“to see the elephant.”
The good little Sunday school scholars
will bo in demand on that day among
their faithful teachers, who always go
with them to see tho animals, you know,
and it is a serioys question whether or
not tho supply of these will be equal to
the demand.
The circus will pitch its tents in the
big field just beyond the ice factory, at
the foot of Plum streot, as that is the
only vacant lot about Americas large
enough for the grand aggregation and
monster concatenation of woild’s ’
tiers. The place is very accessible for
the circus people, as a spur track from
the Central railroad runs right through
the grounds.
Sumter Net the Pace.

claims that tho great tidal wave started
in old Sumter when tho Flambeau Bri
gade was organised. Well, It sure did

That’s right Brother Moore, and Sum-

every third party renegade in Georgia,
from Tom Watson down, Is buried to
deep under an avalanche of democratic
ballots that the toot of Gabriel’s trumpet
will be needed to wake them. Keep
your eye on old Sumter and her Flam
beau Brigade whenever an emergency,
like that of October 5th, arises.

Nku York, Oct. 12.—Today was tin
anniversary day, tho proper legal boll
day, ami one that will loug be remem
bered.
With the rising of tho sun there was
guniiiiug at the battery and other points
in the city. Flags were hoisted at the
battery and at tho Old Fort in Central
park. Church bells were rung, and it
was more like an old fashioned Fourth
of July than anything ever seen iu New
York.
The military parade started soon after
10 o’clock under tho command of Gen.
Martin T. McMahon.
Tho line of march was from the bat.
tery up Broadway to Fourth street,
around Washington square to Fifth ave
nue, tlienco to Fourteenth street, to
Fourth avenue, to Seventeenth streot to
Fifth avenue, and at Fifty-ninth street
tho signal was given to disband.
is estimated that over 515,000 were
in line and it was tho greatest military
parade ever witnessed in America.
Soldiers of all sorts participated. Over
six thousand militiamen from the neigh
boring states wero in lino. There was a
regiment of cavalry ludian soldiers, and
tho G. A. 11 neat thousands of men.
Tho Atlanta Gate City Guard wero as
bright a body of soldiers as ono would
wish to see. They liavo been having a
splendid time, and made themselves
prime favorites as gentlemen of tho first
wafer.
Thoro was not standing room after ten
o’clock anywhere on the line of march,
and fabulous prices wero paid for win
dow and balcony seats.
Militia came in by the thousands from
the adjacent states, and fire companies
in uniform.
A pretty sight was the landing of 300
men from war ships who participated in
the parade, together witli two thousand
regular soldiers, West Point cadets,
United States artillory, Now York Naval
brigado and State Guard.
The weather was fine, tho decorations
profuse and boautiful, and everything
tended to make tho Columbian military
parade a grand success.
Among those who viewed the proceed
ings from different points along tho route
wore Mrs. U. S. Grant, Mrs. Cleveland,
Mrs. George B. McClellan; Secretaries
Foster, of the stato and treasury; Secre
taries Noble and Rusk, Italian Minister,
Baron Fava, who of right has been a
leading and interested spectator of tho
honor paid Ids countryman; tho Turkish
minister and many others.
A ICear Km! Collision.
IIklkna, Ga , Oct. 12.—Tho through
freight on tho East Tennessee, Virginia
and Georgia railroad ran into tho roar of
the local freight noar Longview yester
day. The engineer was badly hurt, and
a brakcinan injured. Eight cars were
thrown off tho track. Tho llagman sent
out by the local train was not at his
place and tho train passed him without
seeing him.
The caboose on tho local was smashed,
but was fortunately without occupants,
though a few minutes before tho crash a
number of drummers had been in it.
They, however, jumped from tho caboose

in Sumter county who will vote tho third

They see now that .their party is a dead

for another term. They see, too, that
their only hope for relief is in the demo

nine-tenths of them will vote tho straight
ticket on tho 8th of November.”

For Currying Concealed Weapon*
Bill Foyner, the negro who was
locked up last week for carrying con
cealed weapons, pleaded guilty to the
charge before Judge Mathews yesterday
and was let off with a fine of $50.
Foyner is the same negro who offered
to sell a gold watch for $15 to a jeweler
in this city at the time of hU arrest, but
it has since been discovered that tiiere
was nothing crooked about this transac
tion, though tho police thought rather
strangely of it at the time. Foyner paid
ids fine yesterday and went his way re
joicing.

full of good, sound democratic talk, has
answered Watson to the satisfai tion of

that a number of converts will show up
at the Novembor election.
Watson was charged by some one from
the large crowd of being a paid worker
for the third party, which was promptly
denied by Moses, saying that lie hollered
Watson to bo the only honest third party
leader that he knew of.
When some one from the large plat

Nkw York, Oct. 1L—The naval pa
rade was a grand succoss. Tho weather
was perfect and business was generally
suspended. The city seemed deserted,
and everybody on the water front of tho
bay or aboard steamers, yachts or row
boats.
The parade was one of the most novel
sights ever witnessed. Tho best display
was a series of gigantic floats illustra
tive of the advance of shipbuilding since
Columbus’ voyage.
The men of war participating were
the U. 8. S Philadelphia, Miantonomah,
Atlanta, Dolphin, Vesuvius, Cushing, St,
Mary, French flagship L’Arethuae, sta
tion cruiser Bansan, Spanish cruiser In
fanta Isabel.
In addition there was a large number
of steamboats, steam yachts, tugs and
ferryboats. The New York naval to-
serve was aboard sixteen tugs divided
Into four squadrons. The bay seemed
covered with sailing steam crafts of all
descriptions.
The processson was made up of ten
divisions headed by the naval reserve
flotilla. The guests of the parade com
mittee wero aboard the Howard Carroll
and included Vice-President Morton,
members of the cabinet, diplomatic
corps, Gov. Flower, ox-Presidents Cleve
land and Hayes and other notablo per
sons.
The.parade started at 12:30 amid such
shouting end cheering and whistling
and booming of guns as has never before
been heard in New Y'ork bay. Clouds
of bunting hovered ovor every vessel
and the scene was dazzling and glorious,
and New York made a demonstration
she need not blush for.

A NOVEL.
THE OFFICE BOY AND THE OFFICE.
Geo Gia was an office boy that would
only use Butler A Berry’s goods—he
would open up—use a 25c Sprinkling can
and sweep out with either a 25c Broom
or 50c Hair Brush—brush off counters
with a 25o Counter brush and dust off
the desks with a 25c Duster. Instead of
filling up the old 25c Water Bucket he
would fill up the new $1.25 Water Cooler
—empty the 45c Waste Basket, see that
the 10 and 25c Cuspidores were all right;
fill the Inkstands whether they were 20c
glass ones or $1.50 fancy ones—then put
envelopes aud bill beans in their special
50o Tin Boxes, Then he would fill the
fine $1.75 Banner Office Lamp and tho
large $4.00 Swinging Store Lamp This
woudenui office boy used the B. A B.
goods because they were the beat and
because tho Selling Out Prices made them
the cheapest—consequently he kept the
office clean—clean out of sight—in the
meanwhile, Butler A Berry kept up their
Selling Out Sale and the office boy didn’t
die and go to heaven as the usual novel
requires—he wouldn’t go,simply because
he couldn't get a coffin at a Selling Out
’rice at the Artesian Corner of
Butler A Bebby of Americus.
